Foreman said, "If you don''t believe me, you can ask Abby. She wouldn''t lie to you."


    Joshua''s gaze gradually darkened.


    Since Foreman was so confident, the story was likely true.


    So, had he really cost Star the chance to heal her hand?


    Joshua''s dark eyes seemed to freeze over.


    Foreman''s voice droned on relentlessly in his ear.


    "If it weren''t for you, why would Star ever ept shares from someone like Leonard and be indebted to him?


    If it were me, I''d rather be hunted by the Lerman family worldwide than let Star ept a single penny from Leonard!"


    Foreman, of course, wasn''t considering whether being hunted by the Lerman family would put Joshua''s life in danger.


    To Foreman, if Joshua were killed by the Lermans, it would be a convenient way to kill two birds with one stone.


    Foreman added, "Leonard was no saint, but don''t you go thinking you''re some kind of paragon of virtue either.


    The harm you''ve caused Star is no less than what Leonard did! Fundamentally, you and Leonard are the same. Leonard hurt Star for Aurora''s sake.


    And you, for Rachel Pearce, plunged Star into a bottomless abyss. You..."


    Foreman was about to continue his moralizing tirade, trying to shame Joshua, when


    a clear female voice cut him off.


    "Foreman, what on earth are you spouting at Joshua?!"


    Abby hade out of her room and just happened to overhear Foreman''s usations.


    Caught by Abby, Foreman showed not a hint of guilt or panic.


    He waspletely self-righteous. "Was I wrong? If Joshua hadn''t killed Leonard, would Star be epting his shares? Her hand could have been healed. What''s more important than healing Star''s hand?"


    Abby was fuming. She pointed at Foreman and scolded, "Star hasn''t even decided whether to ept the shares yet. How did that be ''she has no choice but to ept them for Joshua''s sake'' in your version?


    Also, whether Leonard actually


    found a doctor, and whether that doctor can even treat Star''s hand,


    are all unknowns! What do you area


    mean Joshua cost Star her chance?


    What if the guy was a fraud?"


    Abby shot Foreman a sideways nce. "You''re hardly clean yourself. What right do you have to criticize others? You''re thest person who should be pointing fingers at Joshua."


    With that, Abby turned to Joshua.


    "Joshua, don''t listen to his nonsense."


    Foreman didn''t think he was wrong


    at all. "That''s right, I''ve lied to hurt


    him a few times So what? He


    kurt


    Star was just getting revere her."


    Joshua looked at Abby. "So, what he said is true?"


    For some reason, Abby found she couldn''t quite meet his eyes.


    "Well... like I just said, none of this is certain. You don''t have to take it seriously."


    Joshua fell silent.


    Although Foreman also despised Leonard, now that Leonard was dead, he had turned his animosity toward Joshua.


    Foreman sneered, "Joshua, don''t think being the richest man in the world is such a big deal.


    There are plenty of things money can''t buy.


    I have to say, that Leonard really had some skills.


    He actually managed to find such an incredible doctor."


    Abby frowned. "Foreman, that''s enough! A grown man acting like a petty gossip.


    Don''t you ever get tired of meddling?"


    Just then, the door to Ste''s study opened.


    Ste and Laurel Quinn walked out.


    Laurel Quinn was a little surprised to see so many people gathered outside the door.


    She didn''t say much, simply giving everyone a slight nod before turning to Joshua. "Joshua, I''ll be leaving now."
